Dear Expectant Parent,

We are grateful that you are here and respect your bravery during this time. We know you have made incredibly hard choices. We feel honored that you are considering us.

We know it is extremely difficult to get to know someone through a few photos and paragraphs, but we hope that the pages that follow will help you as you make your decision.

Our friends and family are praying for you and your sweet baby, that God will give you strength and peace in your decision. Know that there are so many people who already love you and will love your child as well, no matter what you choose.

We Choose Adoption

We have always known that we wanted children and discussed adoption early in our relationship. A major influence in this decision is the fact that Elisabeth's mother, Terri, is adopted. Terri had a great childhood and wonderful parents who were equally as wonderful grandparents to Elisabeth. A few years after we were married, we began to pursue infertility care. Unfortunately, we were unable to get pregnant so we allowed ourselves time to grieve, adjust, and research how we wanted to pursue adoption. We eventually chose Gladney and we are excited to have reached the point of having our profile shared with you.

We know this is not an easy decision. We admire your incredible strength, courage, and selflessness as you go through this journey. No matter where this journey may take you, please know you are in our prayers. If chosen by you, we'd love the opportunity to hear more about your hopes and dreams for this child. In return, we'll share about our lives together and the immense love we have to offer a child. We are so excited about becoming parents and we hope that you can envision the nurturing home and family that we are dedicated to offering.

We are deeply grateful for your consideration in this process. Your strength and courage in doing so showcase the values encapsulated within the human spirit. It takes an extraordinary person to start this journey and your selflessness will forever be etched into our hearts, from the bottom of which we thank you.

Dear Expectant Parent,

We are extremely excited to be adoptive parents. Our journey to bring a child into our family has been a long one; we see adoption as an opportunity to both grow our family while giving both hope and reassurance to an expectant mother. Michael and I realize that placing a child into adoption is not an easy decision. We can only imagine it comes with much contemplation, internal searching, and likely restless nights. We want to assure you that we are a loving couple eager to take on the challenges of raising a child into adulthood. We are both appreciative of the opportunity to accept a child and promise to do our best to love and nurture the child as you would want the child to be nurtured and loved.
